What You Will Learn — Two-Paragraph Opener

This tutorial shows you how to use x402 with Token Metrics in two ways. First, we will walk through x402 Composer, where you can run Token Metrics agents, ask questions, and see pay-per-request tool calls stream into a live Feed with zero code. Second, we will give you copy-paste Axios and HTTPX clients that handle the full x402 flow (402 challenge, wallet payment, automatic retry) so you can integrate Token Metrics into your own apps.

Whether you are exploring x402 for the first time or building production agent workflows, this guide has you covered. By the end, you will understand how x402 payments work under the hood and have working code you can ship today. Let's start with the no-code option in Composer.

Part 1: Try x402 + Token Metrics in Composer (No Code Required)

x402 Composer is a playground for AI agents that pay per tool call. You can test Token Metrics endpoints, see live payment settlements, and understand the x402 flow before writing any code.

What Is Composer?

Composer is x402scan's hosted environment for building and using AI agents that pay for external resources via x402. It provides a chat interface, an agent directory, and a real-time Feed showing every tool call and payment across the ecosystem. Token Metrics endpoints are available as tools that agents can call on demand.

Explore Composer: https://x402scan.com/composer

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Follow these steps to run a Token Metrics query and watch the payment happen in real time.

1. Open the Composer agents directory: Go to https://x402scan.com/composer/agents and browse available agents. Look for agents tagged with "Token Metrics" or "crypto analytics." Or check our our integration here. https://www.x402scan.com/server/244415a1-d172-4867-ac30-6af563fd4d25 
2. Select an agent: Click into an agent that uses Token Metrics endpoints (for example, a trading signals agent or market intelligence agent). You will see the agent's description, configured tools, and recent activity.
3. Click "Use Agent": This opens a chat interface where you can run prompts against the agent's configured tools.
4. Run a query: Type a question that requires calling a Token Metrics endpoint, for example "Give me the latest TM Grade for Ethereum" or "What are the top 5 moonshot tokens right now?" and hit send.
5. Watch the Feed: As the agent processes your request, it will call the relevant Token Metrics endpoint. Open the Composer Feed (https://x402scan.com/composer/feed) in a new tab to see the tool call appear in real time with payment details (USDC or TMAI amount, timestamp, status).

Composer agents directory: Composer Agents page: Each agent shows tool stack, messages, and recent activity.

Individual agent page: Agent detail page: View tools, description, and click "Use Agent" to start.

[INSERT SCREENSHOT: Chat interface]

Chat interface: Chat UI: Ask a question like "What are the top trading signals for BTC today?"

[INSERT SCREENSHOT: Composer Feed]

Composer Feed: Live Feed: Each tool call shows the endpoint, payment token, amount, and settlement status.

That is the x402 flow in action. The agent's wallet paid for the API call automatically, the server verified payment, and the data came back. No API keys, no monthly bills, just pay-per-use access.

Key Observations from Composer

• Tool calls show the exact endpoint called (like /v2/tm-grade or /v2/moonshot-tokens)
• Payments display in USDC or TMAI with the per-call cost
• The Feed updates in real time, you can see other agents making calls across the ecosystem
• You can trace each call back to the agent and message that triggered it
• This is how agentic commerce works: agents autonomously pay for resources as needed

Part 2: Build Your Own x402 Client (Axios + HTTPX)

Now that you have seen x402 in action, let's build your own client that can call Token Metrics endpoints with automatic payment handling.

How x402 Works (Quick Refresher)

When you make a request with the x-coinbase-402 header, the Token Metrics API returns a 402 Payment Required response with payment instructions (recipient address, amount, chain). Your x402 client reads this challenge, signs a payment transaction with your wallet, submits it to the blockchain, and then retries the original request with proof of payment. The server verifies the settlement and returns the data. The x402-axios and x402 Python libraries handle this flow automatically.

Prerequisites

• A wallet with a private key (use a testnet wallet for development on Base Sepolia, or a mainnet wallet for production on Base)
• USDC or TMAI in your wallet (testnet USDC for testing, mainnet tokens for production)
• Node.js 18+ and npm (for Axios example) or Python 3.9+ (for HTTPX example)
• Basic familiarity with async/await patterns

Recommended Token Metrics Endpoints for x402

These endpoints are commonly used by agents and developers building on x402. All are pay-per-call with transparent pricing.

Full endpoint list and docs: https://developers.tokenmetrics.com 

Common Errors and How to Fix Them

Here are the most common issues developers encounter with x402 and their solutions.

Error: Payment Failed (402 Still Returned After Retry)

This usually means your wallet does not have enough USDC or TMAI to cover the call, or the payment transaction failed on-chain.

• Check your wallet balance on Base (use a block explorer or your wallet app)
• Make sure you are on the correct network (Base mainnet for production, Base Sepolia for testnet)
• Verify your private key has permission to spend the token (no allowance issues for most x402 flows, but check if using a smart contract wallet)
• Try a smaller request or switch to a cheaper endpoint to test

Error: Network Timeout

x402 requests take longer than standard API calls because they include a payment transaction. If you see timeouts, increase your client timeout.

• Set timeout to at least 30 seconds (30000ms in Axios, 30.0 in HTTPX)
• Check your RPC endpoint is responsive (viem/eth-account uses public RPCs by default, which can be slow)
• Consider using a dedicated RPC provider (Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode) for faster settlement

Error: 429 Rate Limit Exceeded

Even with pay-per-call, Token Metrics enforces rate limits to prevent abuse. If you hit a 429, back off and retry.

• Implement exponential backoff (wait 1s, 2s, 4s, etc. between retries)
• Spread requests over time instead of bursting
• For high-volume use cases, contact Token Metrics to discuss rate limit increases

Error: Invalid Header or Missing x-coinbase-402

If you forget the x-coinbase-402: true header, the server will treat your request as a standard API call and may return a 401 Unauthorized if no API key is present.

• Always include x-coinbase-402: true in headers for x402 requests
• Do not send x-api-key when using x402 (the header is mutually exclusive)
• Double-check header spelling (it is x-coinbase-402, not x-402 or x-coinbase-payment)

Production Tips

• Use environment variables for private keys, never hardcode them
• Set reasonable max_payment limits to avoid overspending (especially with TMAI)
• Log payment transactions for accounting and debugging
• Monitor your wallet balance and set up alerts for low funds
• Test thoroughly on Base Sepolia testnet before going to mainnet
• Use TMAI for production to get the 10% discount on every call
• Cache responses when possible to reduce redundant paid calls
• Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for transient errors

Why This Matters for Agents

Traditional APIs force agents to carry API keys, which creates security risks and requires human intervention for key rotation and billing. With x402, agents can pay for themselves using wallet funds, making them truly autonomous. This unlocks agentic commerce where AI systems compose services on the fly, paying only for what they need without upfront subscriptions or complex auth flows.

For Token Metrics specifically, x402 means agents can pull real-time crypto intelligence (signals, grades, predictions, research) as part of their decision loops. They can chain our endpoints with other x402-enabled tools like Heurist Mesh (on-chain data), Tavily (web search), and Firecrawl (content extraction) to build sophisticated, multi-source analysis workflows. It is HTTP-native payments meeting real-world agent use cases.

Why x402 Changes the Game

Traditional API access requires upfront subscriptions, fixed rate limits, and key management overhead. x402 flips that model by letting you pay per call with a crypto wallet, with no API keys or monthly commitments. This is especially powerful for AI agents, which need flexible, on-demand access to external data without human intervention.

For Token Metrics, x402 unlocks agentic commerce where agents can autonomously pull crypto intelligence, pay only for what they use, and compose our endpoints with other x402-enabled tools like Heurist Mesh, Tavily, and Firecrawl. It is HTTP-native payments meeting real-world agent workflows.

What is x402?

x402 is an open-source HTTP-native payment protocol developed by Coinbase. It uses the HTTP 402 status code (Payment Required) to enable pay-per-request access to APIs and services. When you make a request with the x-coinbase-402 header, the server returns a payment challenge, your wallet signs and submits payment, and the server fulfills the request once settlement is verified.

The protocol runs on Base and Solana, with USDC and TMAI as the primary payment tokens. x402 is designed for composability, agents can chain multiple paid calls across different providers in a single workflow, paying each service directly without intermediaries.

What Is Uniswap?

Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum that enables token swaps using automated market makers instead of order books. It aims to provide open access to liquidity for traders, developers, and applications through transparent smart contracts.

UNI is the governance token that lets holders vote on protocol upgrades and parameters, aligning incentives across the ecosystem. The protocol is a market leader in decentralized exchange activity with broad integration across wallets and DeFi apps.

Token Metrics AI Analysis for Price Prediction

Token Metrics AI provides comprehensive context on Uniswap's positioning and challenges that inform our price prediction models.

Vision: Uniswap aims to create a fully decentralized and permissionless financial market where anyone can trade or provide liquidity without relying on centralized intermediaries. Its vision emphasizes open access, censorship resistance, and community driven governance.

Problem: Traditional exchanges require trusted intermediaries to match buyers and sellers, creating barriers to access, custody risks, and potential for censorship. In DeFi, the lack of efficient, trustless mechanisms for token swaps limits interoperability and liquidity across applications.

Solution: Uniswap solves this by using smart contracts to create liquidity pools funded by users who earn trading fees in return. The protocol automatically prices assets using a constant product formula, enabling seamless swaps. UNI token holders can participate in governance, influencing parameters like fee structures and protocol upgrades.

Market Analysis: Uniswap operates within the broader DeFi and Ethereum ecosystems, competing with other decentralized exchanges like SushiSwap, Curve, and Balancer. It is a market leader in terms of cumulative trading volume and liquidity depth. Adoption is strengthened by strong developer activity, widespread integration across wallets and dApps, and a large user base.

Understanding Bittensor's Speculative Nature

Bittensor operates as a community-driven token where price action stems primarily from social sentiment, attention cycles, and speculative trading rather than fundamental value drivers. TAO exhibits extreme volatility with no defensive characteristics or revenue-generating mechanisms typical of utility tokens. Token Metrics price prediction scenarios below provide technical forecasts across different market cap environments, though meme and speculative tokens correlate more strongly with viral trends and community engagement than systematic market cap models. Positions in TAO should be sized as high-risk speculative bets with potential for total loss.

How to read our price prediction methodology: Each band blends cycle analogues and market-cap share math with TA guardrails. Base assumes steady adoption and neutral or positive macro. Moon layers in a liquidity boom. Bear assumes muted flows and tighter liquidity. For speculative tokens, actual price prediction outcomes depend heavily on social trends and community momentum beyond what market cap models capture.

Bittensor (TAO) Price Prediction: TM Agent Baseline

Token Metrics long term price prediction view for Bittensor, cashtag $TAO. Lead metric first, Token Metrics TM Grade is 62%, Hold, and the trading signal is bullish, indicating modest project fundamentals and short-term upward momentum. Market context, Bitcoin direction and appetite for AI and research-oriented crypto projects determine capital flows into niche tokens like $TAO, so broader risk-on conditions would help sustained gains.

Concise 12-month price prediction numeric view: Token Metrics scenarios cluster roughly between $0.45 and $2.20, with a base case near $1.05, reflecting current network usage, developer activity, and token supply dynamics. Implication, if AI crypto interest and on-chain usage grow materially $TAO could approach the upper bound, while in a risk-off market or if network adoption stalls it would likely move toward the lower bound.

• 16T: At 16 trillion, the range is $5,539.08, $6,710.41, and $7,881.74.

Token Details 

Key Takeaways

• Highly speculative asset driven by sentiment and attention rather than fundamentals.
• Scenario driven price predictions, outcomes hinge on total crypto market cap and viral momentum.
• Extreme volatility characteristic - TAO can experience double-digit percentage moves daily.
• TM Agent gist: conditions and usage growth could expand the upper range, risk-off or weak adoption could compress outcomes.
• Entertainment risk only, not financial advice.

Bittensor Price Prediction: Scenario Analysis

Token Metrics price prediction scenarios provide technical price bands across market cap tiers:

• 8T Price Prediction: At 8 trillion total crypto market cap, TAO projects to $2,129.86 (bear), $2,520.30 (base), and $2,910.75 (moon).

• 16T Price Prediction: At 16 trillion, the range is $5,539.08, $6,710.41, and $7,881.74.

• 23T Price Prediction: At 23 trillion, scenarios show $8,948.30, $10,900.52, and $12,852.74.

• 31T Price Prediction: At 31 trillion, projections reach $12,357.53, $15,090.63, or $17,823.73.

These technical price prediction ranges assume speculative tokens maintain market cap share proportional to overall crypto growth. Actual outcomes for speculative tokens typically exhibit higher variance and stronger correlation to social trends than these models predict.

What Is Bittensor?

Bittensor is a decentralized network focused on machine learning markets, where participants contribute and consume AI services. Unlike utility tokens with broad real-world use cases, TAO operates in a niche AI context and often trades as a speculative community symbol.

TAO is the network token used for incentives and participation. Market performance depends heavily on broader interest in AI‑related crypto themes and community engagement around the project.

Risks That Skew Bearish on TAO Price Predictions

• Extreme volatility from pure sentiment-driven price action with no fundamental support.
• Attention cycles shift rapidly, leaving early viral tokens abandoned as new memes emerge.
• Liquidity can evaporate quickly during downturns, creating severe slippage and exit difficulty.
• Regulatory scrutiny may target speculative tokens as securities or gambling instruments.
• Macro risk-off environments hit speculative assets hardest, with meme coins showing largest drawdowns.
• Community fragmentation or developer abandonment can eliminate remaining narrative support.

FAQs About Bittensor Price Prediction

Will TAO 10x from here?‍

Yes, at a current price of $427.67, a 10x reaches $4,276.70. This level appears in the 16T bear and above price prediction scenarios. Meme and speculative tokens can 10x rapidly during viral moments but can also lose 90%+ just as quickly. Position sizing for potential total loss is critical. Not financial advice.

What are the biggest risks to TAO price predictions?

‍Primary risks include attention shifting to newer narratives, community fragmentation, developer abandonment, regulatory crackdowns, and liquidity collapse during downturns. Unlike utility tokens with defensive characteristics, TAO has no fundamental floor. Price can approach zero if community interest disappears. Total loss is a realistic outcome.

Next Steps

• Track live data: Token Details 
• Consider fundamental crypto assets with utility and defensive characteristics rather than pure speculation.

Mantle (MNT) Price Prediction: Portfolio Context for MNT - Diversification in the 2027 Landscape

Layer 2 tokens like Mantle offer exposure to Ethereum's scaling roadmap, but with concentration risk around one specific L2's adoption trajectory. MNT performance depends heavily on Mantle winning rollup market share against competing L2s. Diversified L2 exposure or broader L1 and L2 baskets reduce the risk of backing the wrong scaling solution.

Token Metrics price prediction scenarios below project MNT ranges across market environments. These outcomes assume Mantle maintains relevance as Ethereum scales, but portfolio theory suggests hedging this bet by holding multiple L2s or allocating to Ethereum itself, which benefits from L2 success regardless of which specific rollup dominates.

Key Takeaways

• Scenario driven, outcomes hinge on total crypto market cap, higher liquidity and adoption lift the bands.
• Single-asset concentration amplifies both upside and downside versus diversified approaches.
• Fundamentals: Fundamental Grade 81.62% (Community 72%, Tokenomics 100%, Exchange 100%, VC —, DeFi Scanner 100%).
• Technology: Technology Grade 78.22% (Activity 64%, Repository 70%, Collaboration 71%, Security —, DeFi Scanner 100%).
• TM Agent gist: bullish signal, 12‑month range roughly $0.70 to $3.40 with base near $1.60.
• Education only, not financial advice.

Scenario Analysis - MNT Price Prediction Models

Token Metrics price prediction scenarios span four market cap tiers, each representing different levels of crypto market maturity and liquidity:

• 8T: At an 8 trillion dollar total crypto market cap, MNT projects to $3.16 in bear conditions, $3.73 in the base case, and $4.30 in bullish scenarios.

• 16T: Doubling the market to 16 trillion expands the price prediction range to $6.27 (bear), $7.99 (base), and $9.71 (moon).

• 23T: At 23 trillion, the price prediction scenarios show $9.38, $12.25, and $15.12 respectively.

• 31T: In the maximum liquidity scenario of 31 trillion, MNT price prediction could reach $12.49 (bear), $16.51 (base), or $20.52 (moon).

These ranges illustrate potential outcomes for concentrated MNT positions, but investors should weigh whether single-asset exposure matches their risk tolerance or whether diversified strategies better suit their objectives.

The Case for Diversified Index Exposure

Portfolio theory teaches that diversification is the only free lunch in investing. MNT concentration violates this principle by tying your crypto returns to one protocol's fate. Token Metrics Indices blend Mantle with the top one hundred tokens, providing broad exposure to crypto's growth while smoothing volatility through cross-asset diversification. This approach captures market-wide tailwinds without overweighting any single point of failure.

Systematic rebalancing within index strategies creates an additional return source that concentrated positions lack. As some tokens outperform and others lag, regular rebalancing mechanically sells winners and buys laggards, exploiting mean reversion and volatility. Single-token holders miss this rebalancing alpha and often watch concentrated gains evaporate during corrections while index strategies preserve more gains through automated profit-taking.

Beyond returns, diversified indices improve the investor experience by reducing emotional decision-making. Concentrated MNT positions subject you to severe drawdowns that trigger panic selling at bottoms. Indices smooth the ride through natural diversification, making it easier to maintain exposure through full market cycles.

FAQs: Shiba Inu Price Prediction

Will SHIB 10x from here according to price predictions?

‍At current price of $0.041027, a 10x reaches $0.41027. This level does not appear in any of the listed bear, base, or moon price prediction scenarios across 8T, 16T, 23T, or 31T tiers. Meme tokens can 10x rapidly during viral moments but can also lose 90%+ just as quickly. Position sizing for potential total loss is critical. Not financial advice.

What are the biggest risks to SHIB price predictions?‍

Primary risks include attention shifting to newer memes, community fragmentation, developer abandonment, regulatory crackdowns, and liquidity collapse during downturns. Unlike utility tokens with defensive characteristics, SHIB has zero fundamental floor. Price can approach zero if community interest disappears. Total loss is a realistic outcome that price prediction models cannot fully account for. Not financial advice.

What is the 2027 Shiba Inu price prediction?

‍Based on Token Metrics analysis, the 2027 price prediction for SHIB centers around $0.000012 in the base case under current market conditions. However, meme token price predictions are highly unreliable due to extreme dependence on social trends, viral cycles, and community sentiment that can change rapidly. These technical price prediction ranges should be viewed with extreme caution.

Can SHIB reach $0.01 according to price predictions?

‍Based on the price prediction scenarios across all market cap tiers (8T-31T), SHIB projections range from $0.041998 to $0.051307. While these technical price predictions show SHIB trading above $0.04, the extreme volatility and sentiment-driven nature of meme tokens means actual outcomes can vary dramatically from model projections. Not financial advice.
